It's zero degrees Fahrenheit out there this morning so I thought I'd share the literal dumpster fire that happened in my front yard a couple weeks ago that was in no way a harbinger of anything.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

People are not upset because they think every single member of the American elite is a mass rapist. They're upset because elites downplay and excuse mass rape while obscuring their ties to the rapists — *precisely the thing Brooks did in his column.*

Did the spokesperson happen to mention whether Brooks had disclosed this to the people above him at the NYT? Because that’s curiously absent from the haughty statement.

An important result last week: A judge who ran with Democratic support won the seat of a retiring conservative justice on the Kentucky supreme court—and will be the state's first Black woman on the supreme court. boltsmag.org/state-suprem...

It feels like I've run out of things to say about the Democrats.
When we're almost a full year into this and they're still voting for Trump's nominees, I'm not sure how you can make the case that the party is salvageable.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Important thing to remember about Venezuelan oil: their reserves skyrocketed when they decided to start counting something that isn’t oil in any conventional sense and isn’t recoverable unless prices triple, which is unlikely because sharp spikes just result in the Saudis opening the tap wider.
The truly wild thing is this isn’t even true, a shit-ton of their oil reserves on paper are heavy tar sands and every US oil company will take one look at that at $80/bbl and walk away because it isn’t close to economically viable.

I notice that he gives chatgpt feminine pronouns, and I hate every possible reason I can think of for why he does.

folks please call your congresspeople about this ASAP, this is draconian and evil
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Heartsick from recent events; the shooting here, the Reiner's, and the horrific attack in Australia, where my family is from, on a beach I've spent many happy days. It often feels hollow and rote to comment on it all, as it happens, every time, endlessly. But it matters to commune and bear witness.

In case anyone needed the reminder: Fetterman sucks.
I called his office back when he started breaking ranks on the appointment confirmations and one of his staffers said that it was, and I quote, "you trans peoples own fault for being to whiny".
His support for trans rights, like everything else, was just for show.
